Thorlo Karāpiro Marathon is one of the newest races in the country. 

When you sign up for Karāpiro Marathon, you can choose between the following distances: 

• 2.5km kids' fun run
• 5km run/walk

• 21.1km run/walk
• 42.2km run only

Courses take place in/around Karāpiro, Leamington and Cambridge on Sunday 14th April 2024.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the closure of the road over the dam, we cannot run on that part of the course in 2024, therefore we have had to make amendments to the run course. Please see updated 2024 maps below.
